WAYNESBORO, VIRGINIA . 
Selected Hardy Perennials 


You may not have room for Shade Trees, Evergreens, Shrubs, or even Roses, and still 
have space for Perennials, which may be effectively arranged in spaces too limited for 
other types of Ornamentals. 
Perennials also have an important place on the grounds of the ayerage home, the large 
estate, roadside and park. They may be had in various heights from 1 inch to several feet, 
in numerous shades, from the first call of Spring until silenced by chill Winter winds. 
While they carry ov er from year to year, transplanting and renewing Perennial Beds from 
time to time is essential to best results. Furthermore, we like our gardens to be in style 
and must find space for the new, improved varieties—discarding the less desirable ones. of ‘ 
Our list of Hardy Perennials is revised from year to year so that from the following collec- Aster, Beechwood Challenger 
tion you may choose varieties which will meet all requirements.

Garden Chrysanthemums

absolutely hardy everywhere under all conditions. Even here at W aynesboro we lose 
some of our Chrysanthemums during severe Winters. These gar den varieties start bloom-

needs it. There are many varieties, but we attempt to list only the ones we consider most 
suitable for the communities we serve.
